What a difference 30 minutes makes

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

The images below are from a sequence taken over a 30 minute period. The sunset was incredibly intense this day and so I've done nothing to the saturation in these - nature did my work for me. What amazes me here is the range of colours in such a short time - from golden glow right through to intese reds and blues.

It's a magic time of the day and even more so when the elements cooperate... which is not all that often.
Your post also demonstrates just how little time you have got to work with. Same deal of a morning

Good work on these Peter. Very dramatic images.
I particularly like the mirroring of the sky in the almost still water.
The only thing that bothers me is the black blob at the far end of the bridge Would have been nice to have had some individual pillons visible as you have on the near side of the bridge to break it up a bit.

Peter,

These are a really accurate representation of the scene in my opinion.

Love #3 as this is really quite rare to get these reds in a sunset or sunrise... (Maybe once a month or so....) I have only seen this red about 3 times this year. (In NC this seems to have happened about half a dozen times; especially on a Monday evening!)

Maybe you could make a diptych by flipping one of them... :wink:

They're all good Stubbsy, especially 1-4 :wink: You've captured the scene well. I hope the mozzies didn't carry you away.
